So I am looking into adding a aftermarket touch screen stereo and I was curious if the stock USB port can be unhooked from the OEM radio and be plugged into an aftermarket one?
Not my picture but one I found online of the port.
If the replacement has usb capability yes, might have to get an adapter cable.
.
Yes it does. I didn't know if the stock USB had a "regular" male/female cable that plugged into the stock radio or what not. I've Never been behind the dash to look.

That port connects to the Sync module using a male USB Mini-B plug. So all you need is a Male Type A to female Mini-B adapter like this one:
That's exactly what I used so I can now use the stock "sync" plate USB port with my aftermarket stereo
That mini USB end of the cable/port is plugged in underneath the top of the dash. Just take off the rubber piece, and then there are 2 or 4 bolts(can't remember), I think they're 7mm, and then you should be able to look in and see the SYNC module and the USB plugged into the back
